Downtown Raleigh First Friday
Businesses and museums stay open late, restaurants offer special deals, and Downtown Raleigh lights up for First Fridays. Taking place on the first Friday of every month, — hence the name — it’s a great chance to get out and explore all that Downtown has to offer.
The First Friday website lists all of the dates, times, and participating venues for the month. Make sure you check it out to stay posted on any special events going on, as well!
Back to the ’50s Sock Hop
Take a step almost 70 years back in time with the Back to the ’50s Sock Hop celebration. Unpack your poodle skirts, leather jackets, and cardigans, and put two straws in that milkshake — it’s time to rock around the clock!
The ’50s Sock Hop will feature tunes of the times, as well as special themed snacks like ice cream floats available at the concession stand. While tickets do cost $10 online $13 at the door, you’ll certainly get your money’s worth from the festivities.
Rockin’ the Forest
Keep the musical-themed events going with the latest concert in the Rockin’ the Forest series. This month’s series is all about the Legacy Motown Review, so come out to hear local bands cover a wide variety of times, styles, and sounds.
